Freddie Freeman is expecting to be in the lineup when the Dodgers open their season on March 18-19 in Japan against the Chicago Cubs.
Following his World Series heroics for the Los Angeles Dodgers in October, All-Star infielder Freddie Freeman returned to action in Spring Training earlier this week.
Freeman checked off another box by playing his first game in the field after undergoing offseason ankle surgery.
On Friday, Shohei Ohtani wasted no time proving he’s still at the top of his game in his first spring training at-bat. Facing Angels left-hander Yusei Kikuchi, Ohtani worked a full count before launching an opposite-field home run, a no-doubt shot that sent a clear message—his surgically repaired left shoulder isn’t slowing him down.
